This one will probably stay at or near the top for a while.

Watchlisted. I had a rough start with Assayas until Irma Vep, now I'm on a hot streak with him.

I am not a fan of Assayas - watched this because I watch whatever D'Angelo likes. I think he loves Assayas because of this one - sometimes first impressions go a long way. This one is a lot like a Dardenne brothers film - but it came first.

This was interesting but Santa Sangre should be way up there...

It's a three point difference between the two. I found Witch to be more interesting. I really liked both a lot.
